Commuters are warned of train delays and cancellations between Walsall and Rugeley this morning.
West Midlands Railway has reported delays on the Walsall to Rugeley line due to a train striking an object.
In a social media post, West Midlands Railway has shared that a “train striking an object between Walsall - Rugeley” has meant that there are cancellations and delays on the line at the moment.

The delay is affecting both directions of travel.
